[New-bugs-announce] [issue4955] inconsistent, perhaps incorrect, behavior with respect to entities parsed by xml.sax

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>:

The attached program demonstrates that the ContentHandler.skippedEntity
callback is not invoked for all skipped entities.  Specifically, it is
not invoked for those in attribute values.  Additionally, it
demonstrates that when parsing a document with no DOCTYPE, skippedEntity
is not called at all; instead the parser raises an exception about an
"undefined entity".
